Are battery powered watches OBSOLETE?

I'm looking to buy a gift for someone. Battery powered watches are fairly inexpensive now, but long-term, are they worth it at all?

I think that the new battery formulations that are environmentally benign don't really last that long. Either that or the movement starts freezing up, I don't know.

Anyway, there are the motion activated watches and the solar watches and I'm partial to the solar watches.

Nobody, it seems, winds a watch anymore. Too labor intensive :-)
